If you're doing a recipe on national television, there's really no room for being sloppy or a nonperfectionist.

As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face. This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother.

I am always asking myself how I can improve the lives of my customers, my colleagues, my shareholders, my family and my friends.

Getting over those unexpected hurdles may not be exactly enjoyable, but ultimately I believe that such challenges and the solutions we find give us more confidence.They teach us with common sense and determination we can turn what looks like a disaster into a triumph.

I wish I were closer friends with Snoop Dogg.

I want to focus on my salad.

So the pie isn't perfect? Cut it into wedges. Stay in control, and never panic.
